I actually have this board. What state is the -next code in with respect to device tree, can I usefully run the board (and if I can a recipie would be very helpful)? Also, can you tell me where the bootloader is in the SD card - I've got a binary but no source so I'd like to start from a fresh card so Id
The DT support for Samsung is available in linux-next and includes support for smdkv310 board. DT support for pl330 dmac is also available. I will send the details of using the existing dt support in a separate email.
For WM9713 you shouldn't need any mention in the device tree as for the way your boards are structured the normal AC'97 discovery mechanisms should work fine. However,
For WM8994 if I can get the board booting with mainline we should be able to get device tree support for the platform data fairly easily - the main issue we've got with device tree at the minute is getting a board which can usefully use it. Though for your particular board I see that the existing non-DT code doesn't need any platform data so I'd expect that you don't need a specific binding at all. I'll post a patch that adds a stub binding today or tomorrow.
Though platform data of wm8994 is not required for smdkv310, there are other boards 'goni' and 'aquila' which use the platform data. So to start with, we can ignore the platform data of wm8994 but having full dt support would be required for other boards.
Thanks, Thomas.
